The Beauty Benefits of Eating Fruit: Eat Your Way to Beautiful Skin

July 3, 2012

Aloha!

I know, I know, I’ve been missing. Most of my work takes up my free time on the Internet, and I spend a lot of time Facebooking, writing and tweeting as part of my Social Media Coordinator and Executive Administration at Escaping The Sun In Style (ETSIS, also a hat company). When I’m not here at thereafterish., frolicking on a beach, running errands or doing general housewifery, I’m working. That’s just how it goes when you find something you love, yah?

Last week, I wrote on the company’s beauty & style blog about the health benefits of eating fruit. Little known facts to me: fruit can calm bad breath, reduce depression, heal wounds, lower cholesterol. In addition to health benefits, however, are the MANY SKINCARE and BEAUTY BENEFITS of FRUIT.

Avocados:
This super fruit is packed with fiber (who knew!), Vitamins B6, C, E, potassium and non-saturated fats (aka, the good fat). Vitamin B6 converts food into energy and helps the body metabolize fats and proteins, supports healthy skin, bones, hair and teeth. Vitamin E may slow the deterioration that comes with aging and protects cells from damage that can turn into cancer (free-radicals). The good fats help keep skin moist and prevent wrinkles.
